prompt

FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact woman in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw and cheek width, skin tone, and her own facial features exactly as the reference, never added or reshaped. Never beautify, slim or smooth the face.

SCENE: a studio wall hand-painted as a grid of flat colour blocks - crimson, mustard, cream and teal, hard seams, matte - over a cream floor.
THE RULE: her head sits entirely inside ONE uninterrupted cream block. No seam or colour edge crosses her face, hair or neck. The grid lives on the wall and her clothes only, never above her collar.
WEARING: a colour-blocked shirt - one crimson sleeve, one teal sleeve, a mustard yoke - tucked into cream trousers, white sneakers.
POSE: full body standing, weight on the right leg, right foot flat and pointing at the lens, left foot a half step out turned thirty degrees; spine long, shoulders level; the left hand flat in the trouser pocket to the second knuckle, thumb hooked outside and countable; the right arm straight down, all five fingers separated; head level, turned two degrees to camera-left, both eyes fully visible.
GAZE: off to camera-left, to a fixed point on the wall beyond the frame edge, chin level.
LIGHT: KEY - a large soft frontal source just above the lens, near-shadowless, landing flat and full on her face so the wall reads flat and her face reads as a photograph; FILL - the cream floor bouncing under her chin and into both eye sockets. Skin keeps its true tone; the crimson and teal do not tint her face.
CAMERA: 35mm, f/5.6, 1/160s, at her chest height.

REAL: a photograph, not a render - pores and real skin texture visible, never airbrushed, waxy or plastic. No lettering anywhere: no words, numbers or symbols on any surface. No sunglasses.

RATIO: 9:16.

FINAL CHECK: the face is the reference face, exposed and coloured by the light named above.
